Work Protected: World-Class Email Security with Total Deployment Flexibility
 
 

The Importance of Working Protected

Workers need to feel secure when they are going about their day, conducting their business, and helping to grow and strengthen the organizations where they work. For today’s organization, providing security for workers goes far beyond just physical security, but must also apply to cybersecurity. Workers want to know they are protected from cybercriminals and that everyone in their organization is working together toward a common goal – ensuring protection from cyberattacks.

Today’s workers understand the ramifications of a successful cyberattack and not only how it can impact their own personal career and standing within an organization, but also how that same attack can lead to loss of business revenue, reputation, and even in the worst-case scenario, loss of their job.

And because email remains the primary vehicle used by cybercriminals, with more than 90% of cyberattacks delivered via this attack vector, as well as the most essential and widely used business communication tool, workers need to feel protected when using their email.

Securing Email Communication

Secure email has never been more important, and it has never been more challenging for organizations to accomplish. Attack volumes have not only gone up, but the attacks delivered via email have also become more sophisticated.

Working from home has made employees and organizations more vulnerable to cyberattacks delivered by email than ever before. With so many people working from home, business email compromise and other forms of email-based threats have become irresistible for cybercriminals. 

Finding the Right Solution

Organizations of all sizes, in virtually every industry, and in all areas of the world, must make protecting email a critical objective. With workers logging on remotely from home, from hotels, from coffee shops, and sometimes even using their own personal devices, they are distracted, and even the most cautious user can inadvertently open a malicious email or click on a malicious link.

Some organizations are choosing to rely on platforms like Microsoft 365 to provide their email security strategy. Others are choosing to rely on specialized products such as a secure email gateway. With Mimecast, customers do not have to choose between world-class security and deployment flexibility.
